I liked this bust as soon as I saw it, so had to have it.
the face is in oil and the rest in acrylic, except the gloves and cross belt.
I have painted the sword blade, firstly in acrylic silver , then painted in lamp black oil, taking off as much of the oil paint as possible.
Hope you like.



Regards
Bob.

Great start Bob. I like the look of the lace. Hard to make black lace look right, at least for me anyway.

Thank you very much Paul, always appreciate your input. Lace is a bugger though.

mmm some Intricate patterns for sure Mate.

Could you experiment on a bit of scrap with blue/black base and tiniest touch of ochre for highlights for future models?

It should stay black overall without looking like weathered 'hospitaller' on the crusades?

I will try that with this figure not only on the lace but if it looks good will try it on the Shako
